Re: Confederate Flag

From a 100 year old vet in the rebel nursing home he met in the 1930's. The vet who spent most of his time in the war -- in a Union prison.

We've been through this.

You ever care to hear things from "the horses mouth" of the slaves?

you mean 1920's. Granddaddy graduated from Benedictine in 1929. In fact it is believed by the school that he was the longest surviving member of his class when he passed away in 2005 at the age of 94. I'm sure granddaddy talked to other vets there also but William Goode was the one he talked the most about to me. And sure if any of the slaves wrote a book I would likely read it.

This is also untrue, France and Germany both had their own intelligence agencies that knew our claim was completely bogus.
